Environmental pollution remains a major challenge in Morocco, intensified by rising carbon emissions and persistent economic growth. Achieving environmental sustainability requires a structural shift toward renewable energy and the adoption of eco-innovative practices capable of addressing the environmental consequences of past industrial activities. This study examines the effects of environmental innovation, GDP, and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality in Morocco over the period 1991–2021, using the ARDL bounds cointegration approach. The results indicate that renewable energy consumption significantly enhances environmental quality, whereas GDP growth and innovation driven by non-green technologies exert negative environmental impacts. These findings underscore the need to strengthen investments in renewable energy, expand green research and development, and improve coordination among academic institutions, industry, and policymakers.

摘要

Environmental pollution remains a major challenge in Morocco, intensified by rising carbon emissions and persistent economic growth. Achieving environmental sustainability requires a structural shift toward renewable energy and the adoption of eco-innovative practices capable of addressing the environmental consequences of past industrial activities. This study examines the effects of environmental innovation, GDP, and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality in Morocco over the period 1991–2021, using the ARDL bounds cointegration approach. The results indicate that renewable energy consumption significantly enhances environmental quality, whereas GDP growth and innovation driven by non-green technologies exert negative environmental impacts. These findings underscore the need to strengthen investments in renewable energy, expand green research and development, and improve coordination among academic institutions, industry, and policymakers.
